SOLUTION 1 : Find using interior angle:
Sum of all interior angles = (n - 2) x 180 where n is the number of sides
Find the number of sides:
140n = (n - 2) x 180
140n = 180n - 360
180n - 140n = 360
40n = 360
n = 360 ÷ 40 = 9
Answer: The polygon has 9 sides.

SOLUTION 2: Find using exterior angle:
Interior angle = 140º
Find the exterior angle:
Interior angle + exterior angle = 180º
exterior angle = 180 - 140 = 40º
Find the number of sides:
Sum of exterior angles in any polygon is 360º
Number of sides = 360 ÷ 40 = 9
Answer: The polygon has 9 sides.
